Chapter 84
When Skylar wanted to leave, Tobias blocked the exit and locked the door. “Just stay here for the night. Or else, you might not be as lucky the next time you meet a bunch of hoodlums.”
Recalling Pink Hair, Skylar asked Tobias, “Where did the few of them go? The police station?”
Tobias replied with a tone devoid of emotion, “They’re dead.”
Skylar thought Tobias was kidding. “It’s not funny at all. Why would they be dead? It’s not like they committed armed robbery.”
Tobias held onto Skylar’s wrist and pulled her into his arms. Tightening his embrace, he whispered, “Young lady, the world isn’t as perfect as you imagine it to be. Since they made a mistake, they had to pay the price. Forgiveness is for the weak.”
Skylar still didn’t believe him. Although Tobias was ruthless, she didn’t think he would actually take someone’s life. Is he trying to teach me about life?
When they heard a knock on the door, Skylar’s heart sank. The images from the other day flashed across her mind. She didn’t want to be caught in bed with him again.
As Tobias let go of Skylar to open the door, she found a place to hide. If she could choose a superpower then, it would be the power of invisibility.
When she saw that it was Sheldon who entered, she heaved a sigh of relief.
However, Tobias was upset at being disturbed. “Why are you here at this hour? Spit it out quickly.”
When Sheldon saw that Skylar was still around, he pulled Tobias aside. “Avery’s father is here and wants to see Skylar. He’s waiting at the hotel entrance and throwing a temper tantrum. However, he is just ranting at Skylar and doesn’t dare scold you.”
“No, she’s not free.” Tobias decided on Skylar’s behalf.
“He said that he will not leave until Skylar comes down. Furthermore, he looks extremely agitated. After all, he is known for coddling Avery and feels indignant about how she has been humiliated.” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Tobias sneered, “If he wants to wait then just let him do so.”
Before he left, Sheldon shot a glance at Skylar and wondered what Tobias had said to her.
Skylar was spaced out and looked just like a frightened bunny.
Sitting on the sofa, Skylar held onto her phone with her sweaty palms. “If you’re busy, I won’t bother you any further. Just give me a room and I’ll head back to school first thing in the morning.”
Tobias smirked in response. “Isn’t there more than enough space for you to sleep here? Besides, I already told you that we need to have a proper talk. We haven’t even started yet.”
Skylar put her hand to her forehead as she began to have a splitting headache.
She was going to be absent from the dorm without reason and her name would be put up on the notice board again. It seemed like her name would stay there forever.
She grumbled, “What’s there to talk about? Isn’t it the same old topic? I can give you the answer straight up. I don’t want to be a mistress. Neither do I want to steal someone’s husband nor someone’s father.”
Maintaining his composure, Tobias persuaded, “Would you actually be more patient with me if I were someone else? Firstly, I will do my best to annul my engagement. After all, it was never my intention to
get married. Also, Tanya isn’t carrying my child as I never touched her. After all this, I hope you have a better understanding of what’s going on.”
He wanted to clear all the doubts Skylar had.
Skylar looked up and gazed deeply into Tobias’ eyes. She replied meekly, “Even if you canceled your engagement, what are we doing together? I have no intention of being in a relationship that has no end goal.”
Skylar was still conservative to her bone. To her, it was irresponsible to be in a relationship that didn’t end up in marriage.
